Hyderabad|India|May'2009: BIG 92.7 FM, India’s No.1 FM Station Network in its constant endeavor to offer listeners unparalleled and innovative programming, whilst ensuring highest levels of entertainment, announces the coming on board of none other than the very talented Rahul Vaidya to host a Top 50 countdown which in true Hindi slang style is christened Jhakkas Pachas. The show, which is in a countdown format of top 50 songs of the week, will air every Sunday from 5:00-9:00pm where Rahul will co-host the show with Mumbai’s evening jock RJ Rohit.

Rahul Vaidya has donned many hats professionally which include those of a singer and anchor, the latest being that of a radio jockey. His show will have tons of mauj and masti through the very interesting chemistry that he shares with RJ Rohit and the listeners. Apart from playing the top 50 countdown, he will also be heard crooning away some of the latest hits and enthralling listeners with his melodious voice. Rahul will have a guitarist accompanying him on all his shows as he takes on requests and dedications from listeners on air. He also plans to host a whole bunch of colleagues from the music fraternity, while offering listeners access to some of the best music talent on the show.

Jhakkas Pachas will reach out to audiences across the country, as it reaches out to 35 stations of the BIG FM network, from the Hindi belt. Interactions will thus be with listeners who have varying music tastes and queries that will ensure listeners are thoroughly entertained while getting a preview to a host of exclusive and musically inclined information and trivia. The show marks Rahul Vaidya’s first tryst with radio, one that he is super excited about.

Speaking about his new role, an excited Rahul Vaidya said, “I am extremely excited about my new role. This far, my interactions with audiences have been with them in front of me. This time it is different and extremely challenging… to be able to enthrall audiences and keep them hooked to the station through my voice – either through conversations or through singing is what is going to be exciting. Radio they say is the theatre of the mind and I am looking forward to giving listeners a new experience on radio. Am sure RJ Rohit and me will together be able to put forth some of the best music ever.”
